I have custom post type called staff that has custom taxonomy called departments. I wanted the frontpage of the staff (archive-staff.php) to not show ALL the staff members, but actually the first department (lets say there are 3 departments.)

Sorry, read too quick, then really the fix should have been an $ (missing) and not quotes.. my mistake..

Thank you for answering, however this didn't work for me at all. The comments didn't explain or refocus as much as needed and there was no additional information in your post :(
